    Good Points: Style - people always notice it and like the way it looks.
    Performance.
    Cost of ownership pretty reasonable.


    Bad Points: Getting out.
    Few frills as standard - and even with touring pack and air-conn etc., there are several 'normal' things missing like mpg computer, clock etc. - but that is no big deal.


    General comments: The Lotus Elise is a real car of the moment, despite being in production for more than 10 years in various forms. It is an affordable car with good performance, a good 'likability' and good fuel economy. I have recently bought a new Lotus Elise R, with touring pack, air-conn, detatchable hard-top. Cost was much less than any of comparable car that has a decent badge. I really like the engineering and focus of the car. The 2ZZ engine is great and the ProBax seats are pretty good and better than I expected.

    I will buy a Lotus Elise Standard again as my next car as it's so good! I have people coming up to me and asking about the car while I am sitting in traffic! I drive the car nearly every day and it feels great whenever you get in it, performance is just the best thing it's a bit noisy as I have had a sport exhaust fitted for realy long journeys, but I drive 2 hours to London every week and it's fine. Back roads are where it's just awesome overtaking is great!! Cars get out of your way as you sli ...

    The best way we ever spent our savings was to buy our Lotus Elise Standard. A great car which has been a thrill to drive and always draws comment. Ours is a standard S2 and I have driven it in all weathers for 12,500 miles. A wonderful experience. If you can ever own or drive one jump at the chance.

    Brilliant car. Previously owned an EVO VI. Would easily show the EVO VI home on typical London roads.
    Makes you feel special everytime you drive it to the extent that it is disappointing to drive other cars now.
    Not the fastest car in the world, but steering and handling make up for power. :-).

    Not had any mechanical problems yet

    Easily the best & worst thing I've ever spent money on. When a car is this unreliable and has such high maintenance
    costs yet you still own it after 3 years it must be fun. Every car I've driven since feels nasty.

    Lotus should have charged £5K more for it and built it properly
    in the first place.
